Photography started for me in the darkroom, developing and printing with different Black & White films, processes, and toners. I am grateful that I can still return to it occasionally and I still do infrared film photography with the surreal look. In addition to that, my passion is also color, bright color and I find many opportunities to go out and capture it. My love of the outdoors, especially trees, is what I look for when shooting. My experience in photography includes, portraits, pets (very hard to do), sailboat races, nature, architecture and travel photography. My husband and I had a rare opportunity to sail our boat 'Canard Azul' and do the transatlantic circle to Europe and the Caribbean from 2006-2008. During that time, I collected some beautiful and interesting landscapes from different countries. I also lived in the beautiful city of Charleston SC which I show in my photos. That experience included teaching photography classes at the Gibb's Museum School of Art in Charleston SC for 9 years including matting and framing. I have also taught hand painting with heavy oil for photographs, an old fashion skill done in the 20th century. I aim to keep learning and growing in photography and make images that will take your breath away. There is nothing more stunning than when you see the perfect tree with the perfect lighting and background - click! I also specialize in fine art women's photography portraits using infrared film. They are surreal and elegant looking, almost timeless for any age. I am now selling my photography at local art fairs and I feature matted silver gelatin prints that I developed in the darkroom, some are hand colored. If interested in them just contact me. If you are interested in a hand-colored one of a kind photo, just contact me and we can discuss details.
I have blank greeting cards with whimsical alcohol inks. They are so beautiful in sets of 5 cards.
